Peanut Butter Feather Pancakes and Fruit Parfait
I’ve got to hand it to my sidebar ads, sometimes they’ve got some great suggestions. As the site owner, I’m not allowed to click on my own ads and I stand by that since it would be a horribly dishonest thing to do, but sometimes a few of them grab my interest and I type in the URL myself so that I can see what all of the fuss is about.
These pancakes caught my interest over on the Jiff website. Jay loves PB, and since breakfast is HIS specialty in our house and not mine, I thought I’d suggest these to him.
We measured, we flipped, we ate.
While Jay did like these served up the traditional way with maple syrup, I preferred going with fruit toppings – bananas, jams, jellies, fruit syrup, honey that kind of thing. Thanks for the adventure Jiff!
Peanut Butter Feather Pancakes
• 1 cup All Purpose Flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup Peanut Butter
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons Canola Oil (I used applesauce instead)
STIR together flour, sugar and baking powder in large bowl. BEAT egg with peanut butter in small bowl until blended. Stir in milk and oil. Add all at once to the dry ingredients, beating until blended. HEAT skillet over medium-high heat or griddle to 375ºF. Spray with no-stick cooking spray. Pour 2 tablespoons batter for each pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles break the surface. Turn and brown the other side. SERVE with syrup, fresh fruit or powdered sugar. Yield: 16 (3-inch) pancakes.
Pictured with the pancakes is a simple fruit parfait which makes a great breakfast side or snack, and is a healthier alternative to bacon, eggs, ham, etc.
Easy Fruit Parfait
- 2-3 c. fresh fruit, cut into bite sizes (in the picture I used 1 apple, 2 bananas, and 2 kiwis)
- 1 container of low-cal yogurt (berry flavors work best, or you could try a lemon)
- Something for a bit of crunch – cereal pieces, granola (I used a Nature Valley granola bar that I crunched up).
Mix all ingredients together, refrigerate until time to serve.
